Yes (sorry for the delay in answering, I check TT only from time to time).
I've talked to Ragnar, who was presenting his new shooting glasses (can be fixed to a baseball cap) at Gehmann's and Morini stand. He told me he just won the swedish championship in air pistol the week before with .... 582 points. And he just had his 40. anniversary as a member of the swedish national team... - at least he is 72 now.

pilkguns back in the USA
Hi folks, just got back from China a few hours ago , missed my connecting flight so I am stuck in NJ. :^(
I suppose this is a good point to release some great news. I made a deal with Uli and Visier Magazine at the IWA Fair to offer English translations of their fine magazine articles online. We have almost got the article about the new Walther SSP ready to place online. Stay tuned for news soon.

Ragnars AP
Donno for for the time beeing.
I had the opportunity to test fire Ragnars match CO2 gun just after he won his second Europeean Champion title back in the mid 80s. His gun was then a very heavy (1300 grams plus) limited production pistol(Zenfter as far as I remember). His score was about 586 back then.
Ragnar has made an impressive come back, after a couple of say "layd back" years.
Two years ago, he was "rejected" from the sweedisn national pistol team, du to lower scores (and high age, some claim).
This reignited his winning spirit, definitely.
I am looking forward to se what scores he can acheave with his free pistol this season.

I really don't know - never heard from Scott again since IWA, I just saw this thread here and checked.
We missed each other somehow during the reception at Walther's 120 years ceremony because Scott preferred to visit Steyr the same day.
Serious: we haven't fixed yet which copy, which article to start with - as soon as Scott mails his wishes for some test articles, I will forward teh PDF files (in german naturally, he will have to translate, and I would like to re-check the text to see, if some foreign readers really can understand my somehow strange writing style and metaphers...)
So, Scotty, it's up to you now... :))
